They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat theirfruit. They shall not build and another inhabit, they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord—and their descendants as well. Isaiah 66:20-23. |
